Should I export via Export Movie, or Export using Quicktime?

Hello,
I am making a "yearly video" of our family video clips. The movie is 45 minutes long. I have an HD camcorder though I have uploaded all the video as "large" as suggested since I dont have a Bluray burner anyway. I know how to export as a DVD file, but if I just want to create my movie to play on my computer, what is the optimal way to do it where I loose the least quality? This way I can save the file for later, should a better "burning" situation come about in a year or two. Should I export movie as "HD" or use "Export using quicktime" or some other option?
Thank you!!

Sorry.
By all DVDs until the master, I mean any preview copies that are used to preview content only, not video quality.
I export a reference movie, which means a movie file that refers to all render and media files on my drives, instead of creating a new self-contained quicktime movie. By using a reference movie, I save drive space (they're much smaller). But reference movies will only work on a machine that contains all the media and render files.
I've used reference movies in Sorenson Squeeze before, so they may work in BitVice as well. But I much prefer Compressor to any other option.

I have exported a file from premiere cs3 using quicktime animation codec, when i burn it the audio is not there..help!?

hello.
am having a proble with adobe premiere cs3
i have exported the file as quicktime using the animation codec, with 100per cent quality as it needs to be the highest quality
when i play the file with media player the sound is there, but when i burn it onto a dvd the audio is not there anymore... i really dont understand what i am doing wrong! can anyone help please?
i am using quicktine as im told this the best for optimum lossless quality
if i cannot burn it with audio using the quikctime animation codec, then i might try exporting it as an avi file. if so, what is the best codec to use for lossless quality?
thankyou!!!!

And when you follow Jim's suggestions, Export as elemental streams, i.e. one Video-only file and one Audio-only file. Encore will like that better.
Good luck,

How can i get an mpeg-1 movie to play using QuickTime?

I just bought the MPEG-2 extension for Quicktime because I had a movie with a .mpg extension only to find that it's mpeg-1, not 2. MPEG Streamclip does not work either. In both cases I get the control window and when I hit the play button, the marker jumps immediately to the end. The movie plays without any problems using Windows Media Player on a Windows PC. Any suggestions?
Additional note: When I go to Window->Show Movie Inspector it says that it's an MPEG1 Audio
Message was edited by: mfms

Doesn't work: it can't read the first time code. Another odd thing: the .mpg file shows up in Finder as being only 64K in size, but the folder holding it is 2.6 gig. If I do an 'ls' in a terminal window there are lots of files all having the same name (?!).
I used some Unix hacking to create a bunch of files with different names. When I open them and fix time codes I end up with an audio file having only 6 seconds worth of silence. The total size of all the files is still only 7.5 MB, far short of the 2.6 gig the disk claims are all used up.

Export Audio to Movie - NOT IN SYNC ANYMORE in 9.1??

This is either a major, major bug or I am completely out of it.
When I do an export audio to movie command, the resulting Quicktime movie has the audio and video not synced as they were in Logic.
I have just upgraded to 9.1 and Snow Leopard 10.6.2 this week. I am having this problem with the 32-bit version of Logic.
Most of my sessions have the movie start time pushed forward or back to suit the start of the audio. I had NO problem in 9.0.2 with this feature.
ALSO.... what's the deal with the the 64-bit Audio bridge plug-in windows? Do we always have to do a double-click to open the actual GUI now-on? Totally s**ks.
Thanks.

Are the movie start times and sequence start times the same? For example, do both the music and the audio start at beat 1, bar 1?
I've found that Logic 9 doesn't maintain the same sync that your project has. In other words, if your video doesn't have a 'pre-roll', but your audio has a one bar count in, then the "bounce to movie" feature will have audio that is out by 1 bar. It's kinda dumb, because Logic should be smart enough to know you want to export the same audio/video sync as you have in your project. But alas it doesn't work that way...
Other possible culprits are latency-inducing plugs on the master bus, like limiters and 3rd party DSP plugins (UAD, Duende, etc).
One workaround I've started using is to bounce my audio mix first, then bring it back on a clean track and trim it to start on the exact same frame as the movie. Then solo the 'mix' audio track and "export to movie" (being sure to bypass any master buss plugins first, so the mix doesn't get processed a 2nd time). this usually works, and also makes it easier to keep track of revised mixes as you go ahead (just make copies of your 'mix' track and mute earlier versions).
good luck.

Logic 9 "Export Audio to Movie" command

What happened to the "Export Audio to Movie" command that used to be under the file menu? This is something I sorely need back.Trying to import audio into Motion 5 is not working out well - even with rendering set at the lowest settings (same with FCP10). I like to be able to see my results as I'm working, not watch choppy playback and guess where to drop in the audio. I'm running an 8 core Mac Pro with 32 G of RAM and I'm wondering if anyone has used a good work around for this problem. I wish I never updated.

I just used Quicktime Player to open the movie and dragged a bounced down version of my Logic audio on top of it. I "Saved As" and it worked fine!

Troubleshooting Exporting Videos using QuickTime X, to an Apple TV Format.

Hi every one!
Here is my problem, when exporting an .avi file to itunes, using QuickTime X, depending of the .avi file it seems, I can only have the iPhone Format Choice or (and it's the first time since 2 years) the Apple TV format available at last.
The .avi Files, that I have tried in the past, where all around 700 MO, all with all most the same settings.
I'm going to buy an Apple TV soon, but I would like to be sure that every file that I will export using QuickTime X, to iTunes in the Apple TV format will work.
Any idea why it's random like that?
Any tips to help me with?
Attached to this post, a Screenshot of my problem.
Thanks!

I checked Hand Brake and the Wiki of it... I have to say that I'm a little bit lost in the settings when you export it to an Apple TV 2, or as an Apple Universal Format.... Which would olso work on an ATV 2...
What would be the best quality/settings that the Apple TV 2 would accept flowlessly?
Newer devices are backwards compatible with older device compression settings but older devices are not forwards compatible with the latest device compression settings. The original iPod video device was limited to 320x240 displays at 30 a max of 30 fps with an H.264 data rate of less than 1000 Kbps. The software was then upgraded a year later to support 640x480 display files at 30 fps and allowed H.264 data rates of 1700 Kbps/MPEG-4 data rates of 2500 Kbps. From then on, the devices have be continuously upgraded to handle larger and larger display at various frame rates with the same or greater data rates. For instance, the original TV device was limited to 720p video at 24/25 fps but only 540p (960x540) at 30 fps. To be completely universal, a file must be encoded for the oldest device that can play it. All newer devices can play these older files but usually do so by scaling the original file to the larger display size reducing their playback quality. On the other hand, the latest HD compressed files have data rates that exceed the playback capabilities of the older devices so these older device cannot play HD compressed files for newer devices. Think of it like the difference between a CD player and a BD player. Most BD players can play BDs, DVD, SVCDs, VCDs, and CDs but a CD player won't play VCDs, SVCDs, DVDs, or BDs.
As to the best video settings for any particular device, they would be the largest ecoded settings at the highest frame rate and higest data rate that the device can play. This willl provide the best video quality playback for the particular device being used. All lesser encode matrices, lessened frame and/or data rates potentially reduce your video playback quality but will still play. If your system includes DD 5.1 audio plyaback quality, then the best audio playback would be from a file that also contains an AC3 DD5.1 audio track. However, the device will also play an AAC DD Pro Logic 2, Stereo AAC, or Mono AAC audio track with decreasing audion source directionality. I prefer having both audio tracks available.
You seem to be missing the point that what plays back best on one device may not be the best playback settings for another device. You really need to read the specs for the device you plan to use. These specifications will give you the maximum acceptable settings for your device. All lesser settings will play on the device but with reduced audio and/or video quality. You can encode everything as a 320x240 H.264/AAC video file and it will play back on all devices. But the playback would only be "best" on the original 5th generation video iPod with the original software and "less than best" for all other devices marketed since then. In short, compare the secifications for all of the devices you plan to use the same file on and use the pre-set option for the device having the lowest setting spesifications if the specifications differ. However, as already stated, all "current" mobile device now support the mimimum 720p 30 fps Main Profile 3.1 encode preset (with all of the A5 chipped devices now maxed at 1080p 30 fps High Profile 4.1). Therefore, I will repeat one last time, I prefer the TV2 preset which supports all current mobile, iPad, and TV2 devices. If you have older "classic" devices, which you want the same file to play on, then use the preset compatible with that oldest device as your "universal" preset.

What should be the cpu temp while exporting a 720p movie?

Today i had my first shoot with iMovie and i exported a 720p movie. My macbook pro has i5 with 13 inch it came with lion pre installed. My cpu temp was 80~83 and the fan was 3000~4300? Is that normal? what s your results?

That temp and fan speed is fine. I get those while playing a game called Zen Bound 2.

Exporting via Compressor - submit - failed

When I use Export via Compressor - and I use QT Pro Res - and destination is Movies Folder, then submit - then in the History window it has returned "Failed" 3 times now. The status bar shows, but never any indication that it even starts to work its magic or anything - just after a few seconds, maybe a minute, the word Failed appears. Argh. The motn project is 5 minutes long full of stills and a little video with audio. Help - what am I doing wrong?
In looking thru this forum, I thot the best export would be QT ProRes - is that causing the failure?
I previously exported via QT(not compressor) and the resulting file is 10gb which doesn't run smoothly but jerks and hiccups like a pre-rendered file. And 10gb wont fit onto DVD which is where this project will go - as a gift.
help

I surely do not take it personal. I have learned that you folks in this group are the best resource I have. I know I am in way over my head. I truly do not know about codecs.
I have taken Motion directly in to FCP - but I didn't think it would work this time. I should have tried.
Someone came along at work and told me to use Visual Hub and use setting for mp4, and also try using the DV - ready for FCP - I did both. I really never think of it as wasted effort if I can learn by what I doing, and that is occurring as you are all explaining to me what I should be doing.
Now as for workflow - I think I did the right thing by starting with Motion, then with the big file sizes went to Visual Hub - but probably could have just gone to opening the Motion files in FCP - then rendering out for DVSP.
System settings are a boggle to me - so I just use NTSC - DV 720x480 and hope that works - so far the results in my projects are good.
Again, Thank you for taking time to explain - I appreciate all comments.

Quality difference between exporting via Export vs. Export using Quicktime

In iMovie 08, is there a difference in quality between Exporting a movie at the largest available size via the "Export" menu item, versus using "Export using Quicktime"?
I have a very long movie of family movies (9 hours) and have been unable to do a straight export (gets to the end after 25 hours or so and gives me a non-descript "can't complete" error message), but would rather split it up into several smaller files than compromise on quality, if there is such a compromise using the Quicktime function.
If I do go the Quicktime route, what settings should I choose, or just the default. Also, Export using Quicktime option makes a .mov file. What file type does the straight "Export" function create?
thanks much!

What file type does the straight "Export" function create?
All presets are compressed as H.264/AAC content.
Also, Export using Quicktime option makes a .mov file.
The MOV file container is "generic" and may contain any form of compressed data compatible with the QT components installed on your system and which the accessing application will allow you to use. In the case of iMovie '08, proprietary and third-party components are not allowed even if installed.
If I do go the Quicktime route, what settings should I choose, or just the default.
You use the audio and video codec and settings best suited to the goals of your export. Since you have not mentioned what your are trying to do with your exported content, it is impossible to make any recommendations here.
I have a very long movie of family movies (9 hours) and have been unable to do a straight export (gets to the end after 25 hours or so and gives me a non-descript "can't complete" error message), but would rather split it up into several smaller files than compromise on quality, if there is such a compromise using the Quicktime function.
A 9 hour export at the largest (960x540) dimensions implies a 4.128 Mbps data rate which equates to a file on the order of about 16 GBs in size. As you did not mention which export/sharing option you were using or if everything was being done on a single hard drive, such an export may require a total of 48-64 GBs of available storage space for temporary, Media Browser, and target/duplicate file(s) plus free memory for rendering purposes. So one of your potential problems could be file space availability.
As a general rule, increases in the duration of your target movie may require geometric increases in either available file space or the time it takes to perform the processing. It is, therefore, usually better to "chunk" your projects (break them into smaller, more manageable segments than to process them as a single project/file) and process the segments independently. In addition most people will not watch a 9-hour movie in one sitting in any case. (I have gone as high as 5 hours but even the product of this effort amounted to less than 4 GBs of file space.)
To "chunk" an iMovie '08 project, simply duplicate your completed project as many times as needed and then divide each into manageable segments and deleting segments so as to remove the duplicated segments. I would likely consider 6 segments targeted at about 90 minutes each but division of content anywhere between 60 and 120 minutes would probably be considered "manageable" for most purposes.
In iMovie 08, is there a difference in quality between Exporting a movie at the largest available size via the "Export" menu item, versus using "Export using Quicktime"?
There should be no difference in quality if you use the same compression formats and target settings. Changing either the compression format (each of which may have its own particular characteristics) or the settings (such as the data rate which directly affects both file size and quality) will usually produce visual differences in your product.

Exporting Audio to Movie, doesn;t export the audio

When I try Option>Movie>Export Audio to movie It rendereds but doesn't actully put the music into the video. Worked in 7.1 doesn;t work in 7.2.1 any plans on fixing this?

Indeed, thats what I do, but the time saving and
simiplicity of the 'Export audio to movie..."
function puts it at the top of the 'features that
really should work' for us composers to picture!
Hopefully it will be fixed soon with an update.
It's not broken. To be sure I went and tried it myself
and it worked fine. I did not even have to set the
locators, which I thought I would have to. I just dropped
the movie on a project and went to the menu. It did bring
up some dialog box I had not seen before. Something about
adding the tracks to use. It only showed track 1 but since I
could not figure out how to add the tracks I just hit OK and
it rendered all of them. Hope you get yours back up.

Urgent help!! In 'export audio to movie' the final option to disable the original audio has disappeared. I am no longer allowed to deselect the audio tracks. Any ideas why Logic has stopped this?

Greeting all
I'm creating a movie with a new music track and follow the appropriate steps as in the manual:
Choose format options for the bounced audio file, and click OK.
In the dialog that appears, enter a name and target folder for the movie, and click Save.Another dialog opens, allowing you to choose which of the original movie’s audio tracks should be used in the new movie.
Select the audio track that you want to retain in the new movie, and click OK.
The QuickTime movie is exported to the selected folder; it contains all selected audio tracks, plus the part of your project that is encompassed by the start and end points of the QuickTime movie.
However, this final dialog option 'select the audio tracks of movie to keep in new movie' has disappeared!!! For some reason Logic goes straight to bouncing without the offer to remove the original audio. My final movie ends up with both sets of audios. Any ideas please???
Best
Juan

It is still there and Logic did not remove it.
Did you do some trouble shooting.
Try to load a different video (with different codec) to see if it is video file related
Try a new (empty) project to see if it is project related
Try to remove Logic preferences (move the original back if this wasn't the problem because the file contains other info you might not want to lose)
Hope that helps

Exporting a Captivate Movie into Flash 8

I am trying to export my Captivate movie using Flash Pro 8,

I am inferring from your question that you may think Adobe

IMovie exports without producing movie

Hello,
I've created a relatively large movie (about 1.5 hours- 3.2GB in large export format). I go to export it and after a few hours it seems to be done though the movie is nowhere to be found. my hard drive tells me the space required for the movie is being used though when i close the program and restart the mac the space there again. i've tried three times now using different save locations including an external disk.
anyone clues to what's going on? is the movie too large for this mac to handle? my only thought is that i have less than 10GB on the hard drive- would this cause the problem when exporting the movie?
Here are the specs:
Mac OS X Lion: V 10.7
iLife 11
Processor 2.26GHz intel core 2 Duo
2GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Thanks

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use iMovie. There's a iMovie Support Community where everybody has iMovie. You should also post this question there https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie

16x9 aspect ratio lost after FCP export to QT movie

I initially complained about the same problem when exporting from Motion to QT movie, then importing in FCP. This was fixed, and I really enjoy it.
I work 99% in DV anamorphic and all my Applications are set this way. It bothers me however that I lose my anamorphic aspect ratio when I export from FCP to Quicktime movie. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
I hope this will be fixed in the next patch as it waists a lot of time correcting it manually. I often export from FCP and into QT Pro, fix aspect ratio and then off to the web. If anyone knows of a better way, I would appreciate the help.
Quad, 20" Widescreen, Microsoft Mouse Mac OS X (10.4.8) Final Cut Studio

I work 99% in DV anamorphic and all my Applications are set this way. It bothers me however that I lose my anamorphic aspect ratio when I export from FCP to Quicktime movie. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
No, you're not doing anything wrong - this is a quirk in the way that FCP writes anamorphic QT movies when using the DV codecs.
As you've discovered, the flag is not recognized by QT Player unless you export via QT Conversion and either set the display size manually or, in QT 7.1.0 or higher, select 16:9 output in your Movie Settings.
Sorry if that's no help...

Should I export via Export Movie, or Export using Quicktime?
